The C. Hafner 1 g minted gold bar contains 1 gram of 999.9 fine gold in a compact German-made format. Its main advantage is not the lowest price per gram, but the ability to keep each gram as its own physical product.
Who is the 1 g gold bar for?
A 5 g holding can be built as five separate 1 g bars or as one 5 g bar. The total nominal weight is the same. The structure is not.
Five 1 g bars create five independent units. The 5 g bar creates one. That means the 1 g format offers greater divisibility, but also requires more packaging and manufacturing steps. This is why the premium per gram is generally higher at 1 g than at 5 g or 10 g.
For buyers who value small units, gifting flexibility or gradual accumulation, 1 g can make sense. Buyers focused mainly on reducing the premium should compare larger weights.

How the price is determined
The bar price reflects the value of 1 gram of gold plus the premium for producing the finished product.
At this weight, packaging and manufacturing represent a relatively large part of the price per gram.
